Saturday Oct 29th
>> Active since 1998 the Unitygain platform for live AV electro-media performance was among the first of the NYC 'immersive' events coming out of the 'Illbient' period to concentrate on a balanced architectural integration of live (and only live) electronic music and realtime video performance.
Originally the unrequited love child of 80's thru 90's musical adventurer David Linton - who organized the sound system participants - and 70's avant 'analog' video accolade / proto VJ enfant terrible Benton-C Bainbridge- who did something analogous for the video - UG eventually morphed into a late nite Manhattan Cable TV show: UGTV (MNN channel 34 <mnn.org> 1 AM Sundays) and then almost out of existence entirely.
But it's not over till the fat lady sings and since we've large and of late managed to steer clear of the vocal arts we've no lasting worries in that regard and so:....
Here we are again... This time at Suzzane Fioi's incredible Gowanus Canal Playground for the Avant Guard 'Rich and Famous' - The Issue Project Room - with a lovely lineup of dazzling electronic darlings from all over the map of today's personal media expression landscape in a bodymind banging collaborative soiree of electronic art... ya dig?

Aerostatic is Terry Golob and Michele Darling. Based in NYC, they utilize the artifacts of sound generated by digital and analog processing in conjunction with a variety of interactive technologies to compose and design audio environments for film, installations and music performance.
David Last has been making funny pictures and odd sounds for about 20 years. He was a reclusive bedroom composer until he began playing at Unity Gain in 1998. These days he is a reclusive bedroom composer who plays at Unity Gain, and feverishly releases music with labels like The Agriculture (NYC), Unfoundsound (Philly), Audio.nl (Rotterdam), Staubgold (Berlin), and WaveTek (NYC). He is currently horrified with the state of America and would like to encourage concerned citizens to financially support organizations like the ACLU. Because like it or not, just getting mad and shouting a lot doesn't help much these days.
David Linton has been making 'music' of various sorts in NYC for more than 25 (gasp) years...
He knows more first hand than most about what the concept 'stay hungry' actually means.
An album of his unreleased 1982 band INTERFERENCE is currently under preparation with 'The Social Registry' label.
These days he's performing live video as well and is more than willing to 'go around the block' at least one more time.
On this occasion he will be performing on 'circuit bent' drum boxes and analog processing.
"Art of Disappearance" continues. - Based in Brooklyn, New York, sound artist, composer, core member of SHARE(http://share.dj), o.blaat (keiko uenishi) is known for creating various interactive audio environments resulted from her ceaseless pursuits of ways to erase performer's presence and alter listening situation.
After performing with an unique hand-made electronic sound system ‘tapboard.effector.soundsystem’ for a couple of years, Uenishi has been exploring powerbook's mobility and its least distracting state of being.
o.blaat's first CD "Two Novels: Gaze/In the Cochlea" was released from Portuguese label, cronica (http://cronicaelectronica.org) in 2004.
Most recently, she completed a site-specific audio/light interactive installation, 'Aboard:Fillip2' created for a cargo-container at Fortescue Avenue Gallery, London, UK in July 2005. The piece was commissioned by dosensos.org and a part of its 'Six Sites for Sound' (http://sixsitesforsound.net/oblaat.htm) More info available > http://obla.at
Sariah Storm has been a mainstay in the west coast electronic media arts scene for the past 5 years. After migrating to Los Angeles in 1999, she founded the arts organization Terpsichore Group: a collective dedicated to exploring the post-digital frontier through creative events, performances and lectures by experts on everything from radionics and plant communication to spirituality in technology. The Terpsichore Group’s events have highlighted some of the most promising electronic music and visual talent from all walks of life. Sariah is a DJ, sound designer, visual connoisseur and fire-under-the-ass of the electronic media scene. She is currently the US Technical Support Manager for the music software company Native Instruments and performs up and down the west coast. www.terpsichoregroup.org
Socks and Sandals was first concieved as a strictly "live and laptopless" techno band in the summer of 2002 by Clark ov Saturn and Sean Smith. After a few years of attention-grabbing gigs throughout the bars, warehouses and boats of NYC and the Northeast, they are currently retooling their live setup and getting down to recording some tracks. Socks and Sandals' musical style is raw and weird minimal techno with a heavy emphasis on danceable grooves. The live show is
always fun, involving improvised vocals and live sampling. Socks and Sandals (microcosm music, loveandcush.com)
Nalepa
Electronic musician, VJ, multimedia event producer, art book publisher, paranormal news researcher and mad scientist collector, Nalepa explores a range of territories, but his first love is music. Armed with analog synths, Ableton Live, and an arsenal of effects, Nalepa crafts songs by fusing together deep dub bass, glitchy breaks, bioacoustic atmospheres and beautiful sinewave melodies. www.stevenalepa.com
